Cover art for 2 AM lyrics by Thee More Shallows

2AM is about the "noise" of the modern world that can overwhelm and distress a person (even to the point of flirting with solipsism - "Who’s making that noise if I’m up here all alone?”), but eventually (hopefully) one comes to terms with the noise, and moreover is able to "sing your own song", that is, project sense onto the world from an enlightenment within. this song is about spiritual ephiphany and how such closes the neurotic gap between "self" and "world" - "there's no who and no why and no conflict": a Buddhist sentiment.
